Fund the fight for home

Here's how your fundraising makes a difference to people affected by homelessness:

  • £157 could pay for legal advice to help a family in crisis keep their home

  • £245 could enable a Helpline Plus adviser to resolve a complex case, helping someone to resolve a difficult housing issue
